Changing cursor appearance

scoterm cursor fonts

The pointer cursor in scoterm windows (and xterm windows) is a type of font. Both users and system administrators can change the pointer cursor appearance with the pointerShape resource.

Users specify the pointerShape resource in their .Xdefaults-hostname file, where hostname is the name of the host, or machine, where the client is running. System administrators specify the pointerShape resource in the /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/ScoTerm file.

The following table contains a list of the standard cursor font names:
